About Us

A world where a safe, efficient and reliable student transportation system promotes the success of the education system and supports the students it serves.

Our role in that world

By building partnerships that are focused on student safe, continuous improvements and quality of service, the SCSTC manages the system that transports eligible students to and from school, safely, on time and ready to learn.

Those principles that guide our decision making

Safety: Nothing is more important to the SCSTC and our transportation partners than the safety of the students we serve. All of our investments of time, money and energy are focused on building systems that transport students to and from school safely, on time and ready to learn.

Service: We recognize the important social and economic impact our services play in the school communities we serve. The SCSTC and our transportation partners serve all those who depend on us with respect, clear and responsive communication and an openness to finding solutions.

Sustainability: The investments made in student transportation services are significant and we steward these resources efficiently so that the SCSTC and our transportation partners can serve our community today and in the future.

Collaboration: A system that moves over 35,000 students to 150 schools over 63,000 km of road – daily – is complex. It is our responsibility and privilege to simplify all of those logistics into a seamless customer service experience and we do this in collaboration with our transportation partners, school boards, schools and communities.

Adaptability: We understand that the only constant is change and we will foster a culture that looks for creative ways to improve how we deliver services, communicate with one another and find greater system efficiencies.
